BARBERS HEATER..-

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented. April 2, 1907.

Application filed February 28,1906. Serial No. 308,469.

T 0 (LZZ 1071,0771, it wtay concern:

Be it known that I, J OSEPH L. BOUCHER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chico, in the county of Butte, State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Barbers Heaters; and I do hereby declare the following to be afull, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention has relation to lamp-chimneys for illuminating and water-heating puroses.

It is the object of the invention to provide an improved chimney for a lamp, the bottom portion of which chimney shall be of glass to form an illuminator, as heretofore, while the top portion, which is readily removable and replaceable, is constructed to heat water for the purposes of shaving and for other uses.

The nature of the invention consists in a construction and combination of parts that carry out the idea hereinbefore indicated, as is shown in the annexed drawings and pointed out in the subjoined claim.

Of the drawings hereto annexed, to which reference is made and which, with the figures and marks of reference thereon, form a part of this specification, Figure 1 is a side elevation of the invention complete. Fig. 2 shows a vertical central sectional, view of the same, the upper and lower parts being separated to a slight extent.

The same figures denote the same parts or features, as the case may be, wherever they occur.

In the drawings, 1 designates a font which may be of the form shown or of any other suited to the purpose, and it may be provided also with a side handle 2.

3 is the burner of common or other construction, adapted to retain and control a wick that may be made and operated as desired.

4 is a glass chimney adapted to fit over and be supported by. the burner 3 and about which there is nothing new except that it terminates just above the line where the greatest bulge or swell is given thereto, though it may stop somewhat short of this line or extend beyond it.

5 designates the upper part of the chimney, which is made of sheet metal having an outer shell 6 and an inner shell 7, with a water-tight connection at the bottom of the inner shell, the outer shell extending below the inner shell, so that the former will fit over the top of the glass chimney, while the lower edge of the latter will rest on its top.

A space 6 will be left between the two shells or metallic parts, with the outer partflaring outwardly at its top, as at 7, to gain access to the water heated in the metallic part. The inner part may be reduced in diameter where the outer portion flares outwardly, and said reduced portion 8 may extend higher than the outer portion to produce a chimney with a good draft. A handle 9 may be soldered on the outer portion to provide suitable means for lifting the metallic part off the lower glass illuminating portion.

As the invention is primarily provided for shaving either for an individual or for barbers, the hot water can be used from the top of the outward-flaring part at the top of the outside shell of the metallic portion, care being taken to keep the space between the outer and inner portions filled with water and to keep the water from splashing on the glass part of the chimney.

It is obvious that changes may be made in the form and arrangement of parts, particularly of the metallic portions of the chimney,

without departing from the nature or spiritof the invention.

What is claimed is A lamp-chimney having the lower part which engages the burner made of glass, and

the upper part constructed of an outer and inner shell of sheet metal, the two shells being joined at the lower end of the inner shell with a water-tight joint, and the outer shell extending farther down and fitting over the outside of the top margin of the glass portion, the outer shell at its upper end flaring outwardly and the inner shell being contracted at the top and extending upwardly beyond the upper and outwardly-flared end of the outer shell.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

JOSEPH L. BOUCHER.
